The Heart of the Home

As I mentioned yesterday, our painters came to paint our kitchen cabinets grey. They stayed until past 8pm, and our kitchen cabinets are now finished!

As a reminder of what the kitchen looked like before:



Here are some progress pictures as they were hard at work:


And by the end of the night, our cabinets were all the Benjamin Moore Silver Lake that I found on Pinterest.


I am so pleased with the results! As you can tell in the pictures above, they removed the silver tile that was previously above the stove so that our new backsplash can be put in.

As the end of the day was approaching and we saw the new look of our cabinets, we quickly realized that the old knobs and pulls were not going to work with the grey paint. We rushed over to Elliot's Hardware to get new brushed nickel knobs and pulls.


A few other updates that happened yesterday include:

Our entry way


Our hutch - filled with entertaining glasses and wine


As for today, I am flying to my hometown of Harlingen for the day so Rodney is in charge. He will be hanging a few things that we discussed before I left and doing some raking and trimming in the backyard. Also, the painters will be returning to paint the baseboards and the doors in the master bath from dark burgundy to white.

We are loving the tweaks that we have made so far to make this house our own. It was a beautiful house before that had been meticulously restored two years ago so it has been very easy to simply add a few finishing touches to help everything look just right with our things.
